We practice Ray Dalio’s principal of meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical truth and radical transparency. The following is a true and transparent description of the characteristics that it takes to succeed in this role.
1. If you need motivation other than the desire to win to succeed, do not apply
2. If you’re looking for a high paying, corner office management job, do not apply
3. If “Yes but” or “That can’t be done” is a part of your vocabulary, do not apply
4. If you are looking for a job or a career, do not apply. This is a lifestyle.
5. If you do not like being measured by KPIs , do not apply
However,
1. If the thought of coming in second makes you sick, come join our team
2. If you believe that your wage should be set not by a pay scale on a website but by the quality of the service that you bring, come join our team.
3. If you understand the difference between management and leadership, come join our team
4. If personal growth is as important to you as professional growth, come join our team
5. If you prefer to build something great rather than maintain something mediocre, come join our team
